This course is for people who want to learn more about the world of typography and learn about best practices of using type in various areas of design; for those who want to meet in person legendary typographers and creative directors, who were responsible for the great masterpieces.
[+]

What is British Typography and why is it different from Dutch or German? Why does every piece of British Design have a very distinct style with typography as the main element?
Was it always there or did it only appear in the 60s? Did it get to the end in the 90s? Can a non-british designer become a British typographer? Where can we find examples of British Typography and how can we use them? All of these questions and many others will be answered during our programme.
This course is for people who want to learn more about the world of typography and learn about best practices of using type in various areas of design; for those who want to meet in person legendary typographers and creative directors, who were responsible for the great masterpieces. This programme will help you to build a skeleton of typographic wisdom, that you will be able to build on in future.
Programme includes lectures, workshops, visits to exhibitions, self-study work and professional discussions. You will also have a unique opportunity to get behind the closed doors of the most influential agencies in London.
Structure of the programme:
Every day you will discover typography through different lenses:
Monday: environmental and space design
Tuesday: type creation
Wednesday: magazine and book design
Thursday: digital design
Friday: branding and packaging
Who is this programme for:
graphic, digital and packaging designers
art and creative directors
branding and typography specialists
MA students and graduates of design programmes
everyone who is passionate about British design and typography
In a week you will learn:
latest trends in typography
how famous designers use type and what tricks do they use
how biggest design studios and creative agencies work
what do you need to know about type when working with branding, packaging and digital design
can you become a British typographer if you were not born in the UK
what is typography now and what it will look like tomorrow
how many typographers are there in the UK
Course curator
Igor Mustaev, typographer and founder of Lavka Bukv.
"Why ‘British Typography – the basics and the extras’? Because in 5 days, it is impossible to learn everything about such a vast layer of culture. But it gives an opportunity to immerse yourself in each area of it for a day and get the most out of personal interactions with legendary designers who created what is now known as British Typography. Some of you will confirm ideas you had about British typography, some will discover a completely different angle, but what is certain – you won’t get bored for a single second."
